House debates Questions without Notice

General Practice

Wednesday, 20 November 2013 House of Representatives

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance

Madam Speaker, in 'Questions 555' of Practice it says:

… it is not in order for Ministers to be questioned on opposition policies, for which they are not responsible.

It was a page of Practice oft quoted in the previous parliament, as you would remember, Madam Speaker. And given that it was not within the question, it cannot be relevant and neither was it within his responsibilities.
